1. act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, esp. in a game or examination
2. avoid (something undesirable) by luck or skill.
Synonyms for cheating: avoid, escape, evade, elude

So yes, it is a form of cheating by avoiding mobs that were never meant to be avoided.
So every time I avoid a mob in some random high-level zone I'm cheating? Those mobs are designed to attack on sight, and here I go deftly evading them to save some time on the run to my destination of choice. I'm a cheater and I never knew!
